I'm not clear how it is necessarily so, that it creates an issue. It could also demonstrate to the client the setting of a boundary, hopefully in a clear but gentle manner, and being comfortable with that.
I guess I don't feel like I need to protect the T by not asking questions that might make him uncomfortable. I am protecting him from me. That seems to me would complicate therapy. The T has the option of answering the question, or exploring why the client wants answers to the question, and probably some other options. I don't know the questions, nor the T and client, so I don't know if I agree with his choices. It seems to me that it could be unhelpful, but I don't see the necessarily so.
